Went out int othe garage tonight and it seems Craig has decided Matt Red is the colour of choice for the car

Also looking round the garage after he'd finished, I've now seen 'Red Mist' for the first time........... when I'm not driving ;)

Mark, Immortal Performance, I haven't spoken to Andy, but I believe he's no longer making Fibreglass bits, same with the doors.

rob4620 15 March 2008 01:18 PM

his website makes me think he is no longer doing anything. INDEX

Lightweight parcel shelf is great! With the tubes in there, do you actually need it or chop it out and weld a tube across?

Mark A 25 March 2008 08:02 PM

Looking good John, when does the season start for you?

Mark

John Stevenson 25 March 2008 09:05 PM

Mark, 13 April ;)

I have a date in mind where new car will replace old... I'm currently happy where we are at, issues at home have dented my schedule in the last couple of weeks as you know, but I'm hoping to make that time back. It'll soon be time for the dreaded all nighters.

Has my V3 ECU arrived ? :p


For a long time I've looked at you and thought, who does he remind me of ?

It's just Clicked, the Proctologist in 'The Cannonball Run' so for the kind offer of your finger, erm no thanks ;)

Mark A 25 March 2008 11:20 PM

3 weeks :eek2:

You are going to be busy. Keep the pictures coming

911 25 March 2008 11:25 PM

No year was printed Mark :D

Bloody hell John, even 3 weeks off work would be pushing it surely?

I believe Mr Twemlow Senior is all ready, and on AVON's too.

John Stevenson 13 April 2008 12:23 AM

8 hours and counting, what are my chances ?
 
Here's where we are at, we went off the Matt Red idea after all.

Where's the engine stabiliser bracket gone?

Looks very tidy John. Hope that pic was taken 3 weeks ago as time must be tight by now?
I understand Geoff is on Kumho's not Avons so far.

Carl Davey 13 April 2008 08:53 AM

Looks stunning, can't wait to see it in the metal. :cool:

Gonna look as good as it goes

4 thumbs up from me

Ghetto Dude3 13 April 2008 03:00 PM

the rear arches, the parts that fold over and go into the rear arch, i believe they are called the "doglegs" on a 4dr car (above the sill), that part you will probably have to cut off.

i did what you have done and my wheels were catching over bumps, spent ages checking up inside the wheel arches to find out where the rubbing noise was coming from it was the bloody return lip at the front of the wheel


i do have big wheels/tyres/ and some toe out set at the rear, so it might just be my setup.

worth noting!

Ghetto Dude3 13 April 2008 03:03 PM

quick pic

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/10...s/CIMG1039.jpg

that is where my wheels were catching

seafar99 13 April 2008 06:59 PM

We've cut the wheelarch by about an inch and a half prior to bonding the outer quarter panel. If there is likely to be a rubbing issue it's more likely to show at the top of the wheel/radius.

Are they plastic? Looks like they are.
Thought you were racing this weekend? Obviously not in this car unless we are still on 'delayed time' reporting :D

Geoff races Kenny S car this weekend. Will be interesting to see.
Rob's out in the RA by Zen. Will be interesting to see...
The re-vamped Audi V8 twin turbo is also out.............:norty:

Car will look great John.
